Striker Wayne Rooney says his international career will remain unfulfilled if
he doesn't win a trophy with England

Wayne Rooney insists England's tight-knit squad can "go all the way" in Brazil, adding there's no point winning a century of caps for your county and having nothing to show for it.

The Manchester United striker missed the end of the Premier League season with a groin problem and a toe injury. His involvement in the 2006 World Cup in Germany was marred by a metatarsal injury and he suffered an ankle knock ahead of the 2010 tournament in South Africa.

However, 28-year-old Rooney believes he will be in prime condition in Brazil.

"The players we have in the squad really excite me," Rooney told the Daily Mail. "There are no cliques in the team at all and having the whole staff - manager and backroom staff - English really helps. I believe that we can go all the way in Brazil.

"You want to win something. There is no point playing for England 100 times if you don't win anything and then looking back at your caps. That number is irrelevent if you have won nothing. That's the way I look at it.

"You want to be part of a team that makes history and wins something for England. Don't get me wrong, it's nice to play for your country and it's a great feeling and an honour. But once you are doing it you want to be successful and want to make the fans happy. That's what it's about."
